Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Lee Ann- We too got denied by CIGNA HMO of NC. We have gone through all the appeals process and have lost at every turn. HOWEVER.... we are about to enter an external appeal and 2 families have had it overturned there. You have to go through all the hoops to get to the external review but please keep fighting. I don't know how to attach our latest copy of our appeal letter on but I can send it to you if you email me directly. Hope it helps. Email me at owensmom42@... since I don't check my account very often. Good luck and don't give up!!!!!! mom to Owen 4/2/01 banded 12/5/01 > I knew it was coming, but somehow I held out hope that Cigna would grow a clue and/or a brain and just magically approve us :-( > > They are using the its " experimental " and " cosmetic " excuses. Yeah...right...whatever! > > What is the next move? I have yet to go to plagiocephaly.org to read about insurance/appeals, etc. I guess I should do that, huh? *rolling eyes* > > So besides that, we need to figure out where the money will come from to proceed NOW with the DOC band. The payment plan is, well....not very " user friendly " LOL DH and I need to sit down and discuss whether or not to ask our parents for it, put it on a credit card (yikes! we just got OUT of debt!), or borrow from a personal loan (better interest rate than the credit card, but its still debt, kwim?). > > Any advice, suggestions, words of wisdom and encouragement? We have Cigna HMO and we are in the greater Dallas area (Denton, to be exact). > > Thanks! > Lee Ann > Mom to 10-2-01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
